    Andreas:

    Dramatic pose, framing works well, although I wouldn't object to a slightly looser crop ( sup. and to right) if available.

    The shadowing gives it a nice sense of depth. Interesting iris detail.

    A bit more DOF would have been nice for the tip of the bill.

    Cheers

    Randy's comments are spot on for me, except the OOF bill tip doesn't matter for my taste. As Randy mentioned, the bright well lit iris is awesome. TFS

    Nice shot Andreas, the bill tip is only slightly off focus, so I'll give you 9.

    Thanks folks for your kind comments , much appreciated .

    I see where you are coming from with suggestion of crop ... a bit tight on RHS and top of the frame . A looser crop would be a good alternative

    Cheers Andreas

    You were close Andreas, but agree, it needs more DoF for the bill tip.
